Report of Independent Accountants



The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Data Capture Group of Spectra-Physics AB:


We have audited the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheets of The Data Capture
Group  of  Spectra-Physics  AB  (the  Company),  as  described  in Note 1, as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related  combined  statements of operations,
cash flows and changes in Spectra-Physics  AB's investment for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial  statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of The Data Capture Group
of  Spectra-Physics  AB at  December  31,  1995 and  1994,  and  results  of its
operations  and its cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended
December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation:

      Organization:  The accompanying  combined financial statements of The Data
      Capture Group of  Spectra-Physics  AB (the Company) include the assets and
      liabilities at historical cost and operating results and cash flows of the
      Data Capture Group of Spectra-Physics AB, a Swedish manufacturing company.
      The Company  consists of the  operations,  assets and  liabilities  of the
      Company's sales and manufacturing  facilities  located in Eugene,  Oregon;
      its various  foreign sales and technical  support  offices  located in the
      United Kingdom,  France,  Germany,  Italy,  Australia and Japan; and a 60%
      investment in T.X.C.O.M. SA (TxCom). The Company designs, manufactures and
      markets bar code  scanners,  wireless radio  frequency  systems and retail
      automation systems for the use in the worldwide  automatic  identification
      and data collection industry.

      In July  1990,  Spectra-Physics,  Inc.  and  its  subsidiaries  (SP)  were
      acquired by Pharos USA, Inc.,  which is indirectly owned by Pharos AB (now
      known as Spectra-Physics  AB). In 1990, SP managed four distinct operating
      divisions,  one of which was the scanning system division. The transaction
      was recorded using the purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly,  a new
      basis of accounting  was  established  for the Company in 1990 based on an
      allocation  of the  purchase  price  among SP  divisions,  based  upon the
      present value of estimated  future cash flows  expected to result from the
      use of certain assets, resulting in a purchase price in excess of tangible
      assets acquired less liabilities assumed of $145,900 (see Note 6).

      Basis  of  Presentation:  The  combined  financial  statements  have  been
      prepared  as if the Company had  operated  as an  independent  stand-alone
      entity for all periods  presented.  The  Company  has not had  significant
      borrowings, and there was no allocation of Spectra-Physics AB consolidated
      borrowings  and  related  interest  expense.  The  Company  had engaged in
      various  transactions with  Spectra-Physics AB and its affiliates that are
      characteristic  of a group of companies under common  control.  Throughout
      the period covered by these  combined  financial  statements,  the Company
      participated in  Spectra-Physics  AB's centralized cash management system.
      The Company's operational transactions resulted in amounts receivable from
      and payable to  Spectra-Physics AB which fluctuated over time and such net
      withdrawals   have   been   presented   net  in  the   balance   sheet  as
      Spectra-Physics AB's investment in the Company.  Significant  intercompany
      balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated.

      The  Company  was  charged  by  Spectra-Physics  AB for  direct  costs and
      expenses  associated  with its  operations  which were included in cost of
      goods  sold  or  selling  and  administrative  expenses,  as  appropriate.
      Spectra-Physics   AB's   administrative   costs   which   are   indirectly
      attributable  to the Company,  have not been  historically  charged to the
      Company.  However,  these costs have been  allocated to the Company in the
      accompanying  financial  statements based on the estimated level of effort
      expended on behalf of the Company. Management believes that such method of
      allocation is reasonable  and reflects a reasonable  estimate of the level
      of expenses  that would have been  incurred had the Company  operated on a
      stand-alone  basis.  As shown on the combined  statements  of  operations,
      "Corporate overhead  allocation"  consisted of $281, $285 and $327 of such
      indirect costs for 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation, Continued:

      The  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  generally
      accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date  of the
      financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues and expenses
      during the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those
      estimates.

      Estimates and Industry Factors:

      Estimates - The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with
      generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
      estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and
      liabilities  and  disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities at the
      date of the financial  statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
      expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from
      those estimates.

      Technology - The market for the  Company's  products is  characterized  by
      rapidly  changing  technology,  evolving  industry  standards and changing
      customer needs.  The Company believes that its future success will depend,
      in part, upon its ability to enhance its current products,  to develop new
      products and systems on a timely and cost-effective  basis, and to respond
      to changing  customer needs and technological  developments.  To date, the
      Company's  revenues  have  been  concentrated  in the  sale of  fixed  and
      handheld  scanners.  The Company expects that  increasing  portions of its
      operations  will be  devoted  to,  and  revenues  will  result  from,  the
      manufacture   and  sale  of   automated   data   collection   systems  and
      product-related services.

      Patents - The  Company's  success is  dependent  in part on its ability to
      continue to have patent protection for its products, maintain trade secret
      protection  and  operate  without  infringing  the  proprietary  rights of
      others.

      Major Customers - The Company sells to various customers. A major customer
      represented 10% or more of net sales. One customer represents 24%, 12% and
      14% of net sales in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

      Revenue  Recognition:  Revenue  for  sales of the  Company's  products  is
      recognized upon shipment.  In conjunction with these sales,  field service
      maintenance agreements are entered into for certain products.  Maintenance
      revenues are recognized  ratably over the term of the maintenance  period,
      which is typically one to three years.

      Cash and Cash  Equivalents:  The Company  participates in  Spectra-Physics
      AB's  centralized  cash  management  system  that  invests  excess cash in
      marketable  securities,  with  maturities  of three  months  or less.  The
      carrying  value of cash  and  cash  equivalents  approximates  fair  value
      because of the short maturity of these investments.

      Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are stated at face value, less an
      allowance for uncollectible accounts.

      Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-
      out basis) or market.

      Property,Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment is recorded at
      cost.  Depreciation and amortization is provided on a straight-line  basis
      over the following estimated useful lives:

            Buildings and improvements ....................     10 to 45 years
            Machinery and equipment .......................       3 to 8 years
            Leasehold improvements (limited to
            terms of the leases) ..........................      5 to 10 years

      Intangible Assets: In 1995, the Company elected adoption of the accounting
      provisions of Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
      "Accounting  for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
      Assets to be Disposed Of". This Standard  requires that long-lived  assets
      and certain  identifiable  intangibles to be held and used by an entity be
      reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events or  changes  in  circumstances
      indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be  recoverable.  No
      adjustments were necessary to implement this Standard.

      Intangibles  resulting  from  business  acquisitions  represent  goodwill,
      covenants  not to  compete  and  purchased  technologies,  and  are  being
      amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of
      5 years. When factors indicate that these intangibles  should be evaluated
      for  possible  impairment,  the Company  uses an estimate of the  acquired
      business'  undiscounted  future cash flows expected to result from the use
      of the intangibles and its eventual  disposition in measuring  whether the
      intangibles are recoverable.  Other intangibles, which consist of patents,
      licenses and  trademarks,  including costs incurred in connection with the
      protection of patents, are generally amortized over their estimated useful
      lives of 5 to 10 years, using the straight-fine method.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued.

      Investment in Minority-Owned  Company:  The Company owns 11% of the equity
      of Catalina Electronic  Clearing Systems,  Inc. (CECS) and accounts for it
      on the cost method.  CECS has been a development  stage company  incurring
      recurring losses.  When factors indicate that the Company's  investment in
      CECS should be  evaluated  for  possible  impairment,  the Company uses an
      estimate  of  CECS's  expected  undiscounted  future  cash  flows  and its
      eventual  disposition  in  measuring  whether  the  investment  in CECS is
      recoverable.  In each year through 1995,  the Company has written down its
      investment to zero as the Company believes its value has been impaired.

      Software  Development  Costs: The Company  capitalizes  costs incurred for
      internally  developed  product  software where economic and  technological
      feasibility  has been  established  and for qualifying  purchased  product
      software.  Generally,  software  development costs incurred  subsequent to
      achieving  economic and  technological  feasibility  using a working model
      have not been material.  Accordingly,  no software  development costs were
      capitalized.

      Research and Development Expenses:  The Company expenses  all research and
      development costs as incurred.

      Income Taxes: The Company uses the liability method to record deferred tax
      assets and  liabilities  based on the difference  between the tax bases of
      assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial  reporting
      purposes.

      The Company has historically been included in the consolidated federal and
      state income tax returns of  Spectra-Physics,  Inc. The income tax benefit
      reflected in the accompanying combined financial statements represents the
      Company's share of  Spectra-Physics,  Inc.'s income tax provision which is
      intended to approximate  the benefit which would have been  recognized had
      the Company filed separate income tax returns.

      Domestic income taxes have been treated as if settled  immediately through
      an  adjustment to  Spectra-Physics  AB's  investment  in the Company.  The
      current  deferred  income tax asset and the deferred  income tax liability
      have been  determined on a stand-alone  basis.  Provision is made for U.S.
      income taxes on undistributed  earnings of foreign  entities,  unless such
      earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested.

      Forward Foreign Exchange  Contracts:  The Company may  occasionally  enter
      into  forward  foreign  exchange  contracts  as a hedge  against  currency
      fluctuations   relating  to  net  foreign   transactions  and  commitments
      denominated in foreign  currencies.  Gains and losses on forward contracts
      are deferred and offset  against  foreign  exchange gains or losses on the
      underlying hedged items.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

      Foreign Currency Translation: The Company's foreign subsidiaries' accounts
      are measured using local currency as the functional  currency.  Assets and
      liabilities  are  translated  at the exchange  rate in effect at year end.
      Revenues  and  expenses  are  translated  at the average  rate of exchange
      prevailing  during  the  year.   Translation   adjustments   arising  from
      differences  in exchange  rates from period to period are  included in the
      cumulative  adjustment account in Spectra-Physics AB's investment,  net of
      related deferred income taxes.

      Product Warranty:  The Company's products typically have a warranty period
      of 12 months.  Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale of
      the  warranted  products.  The Company  maintains  an accrual for warranty
      claims  and  adjusts  this  accrual   periodically   based  on  historical
      experience and known warranty claims.

      Spectra-Physics AB's Investment:  Spectra-Physics AB's investment reflects
      the historical activity between the Company and Spectra-Physics AB and the
      Company's   cumulative   results   of   operations.    Transactions   with
      Spectra-Physics  AB are reflected as though they were settled  immediately
      as an addition to or reduction of  Spectra-Physics  AB's  investment,  and
      there are no significant amounts due to or from  Spectra-Physics AB at the
      end of any period, except as described in Notes 3 and 8.

      Accounting  Standards  Pronouncements:  In  October  1995,  the  Financial
      Accounting  Standards  Board  adopted  Statement of  Financial  Accounting
      Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which
      is  effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1995.  The
      Standard requires the Company either to adopt a fair value based method of
      accounting  for  compensation  cost related to stock options in the income
      statement  or to  continue  using  the  intrinsic  value  based  method of
      accounting   prescribed  by  Accounting   Principles   Board  Opinion  25,
      "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". If the Company opts not to use
      the fair value based method of accounting, pro forma disclosures will need
      to be  reported  in the notes to the  financial  statements.  The  Company
      currently does not plan to adopt the fair value based method provisions of
      SFAS No. 123.

3.    Acquisition of TxCom:

      Effective July 1, 1995, the Company  entered into an agreement to purchase
      all of the  outstanding  shares  of  TxCom  over a  four-year  period  and
      purchased  60%  of  the  outstanding   shares  as  of  that  date.   TxCom
      manufactures  and sells  wireless  radio  frequency  systems for  material
      movement and inventory control applications. The acquisition was accounted
      for using the purchase  method.  Accordingly,  the purchase price,  net of
      cash acquired of $2,367, was allocated to assets and liabilities  acquired
      based upon their  fair  values.  The  results of  operations  of TxCom are
      included in the 1995 combined  statement of  operations  since the date of
      acquisition. The total cost in excess of net assets acquired was allocated
      based upon the present  value of estimated  future cash flows  expected to
      result from the use of certain  assets to purchased  technology of $1,273,
      in-process  technology of $963 and goodwill of $760.  Purchased technology
      and goodwill are being  amortized  over the estimated  useful life of five
      years.  In the third  quarter  of 1995,  the  Company  incurred a one-time
      noncash  charge to  operations  of $863 for the  write-off  of  in-process
      technology,  because  the  technological  feasibility  of  the  in-process
      technology  acquired had not been established and there was no alternative
      future  use.  An  additional  12% of the shares of TxCom were  acquired on
      February 9, 1996 for approximately $1.8 million.  The remaining 28% of the
      shares will be acquired in  increments of 10%, 10% and 8% in January 1997,
      1999 and 1999,  respectively,  at purchase  prices based,  in general,  on
      TxCom's operating earnings during certain measuring periods.

      The following  unaudited pro forma summary presents  information as if the
      acquisition  had occurred at the  beginning  of each fiscal year.  The pro
      forma  information is provided for information  purposes only. It is based
      on  historical  information  and does not  necessarily  reflect the actual
      results  that would have  occurred  nor is it  necessarily  indicative  of
      future results of operations of the combined companies.

            Year ended December 31, 1995:
                  Net sales ....................................      $103,749
                  Net loss .....................................        (9,806)

            Year ended December 31, 1994:
                  Net sales ....................................        91,925
                  Net loss .....................................       (18,385)

      On December 22, 1995, TxCom loaned Spectra-Physics approximately $1,642 at
      an interest rate of 5.75% to be paid on March 28, 1996.

6.    Intangible Assets, Continued.

      Excess of Purchase Price: Intangibles resulting from business acquisitions
      relate to the  allocation of the purchase  price  resulting  from the 1990
      acquisition of the Company by Spectra-Physics AB (see Note 1) and the 1995
      acquisition  of TxCom by the  Company  (see  Note  3).  A  summary  of the
      purchase  price  allocation  of the 1990  acquisition  of the  Company  by
      Spectra-Physics AB as of July 1990 is as follows:

            Purchased technology ....................................  $28,662
            In-process technology ...................................   15,147
            Covenant-not-to-compete .................................   20,000
            Goodwill ................................................   71,656
                                                                       -------
                                                                       135,465
            Tangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed ....   21,900
            Deferred income tax liability ...........................  (11,465)
                                                                       ------- 
            Total purchase price .................................... $145,900

      The purchase price in excess of net tangible assets acquired was amortized
      using the  straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful lives of five
      years, except for in-process  technology acquired which was written off in
      July 1990 as its  technological  feasibility had not yet been  established
      and there was no alternative future use. Accumulated  amortization related
      to the  1990  acquisition  was  approximately  $102,270  and  $120,318  at
      December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  As of September 1995, the total
      purchase  price in  excess  of net  tangible  assets  acquired  was  fully
      amortized.

      The deferred tax liability of $11,465 arose as a result of the  difference
      between the bases of the purchased  technology for financial reporting and
      tax purposes at the date of acquisition.


7.    Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities:

                                                           1994       1995

11.   Commitments and Contingencies:

      Royalty   Agreements:   The  Company  has  entered  into  several  royalty
      agreements to obtain  licenses of certain  patents.  Royalty expense under
      these  agreements  was  $701,  $1,107,  and $855 in 1993,  1994 and  1995,
      respectively.  In 1994,  the Company  entered into an  agreement  settling
      patent litigation brought by another manufacturer, which gives the Company
      future rights to use certain manufacturing technology. The minimum royalty
      liability was $500,  which was paid and included in other expense in 1994.
      Under the  agreement,  the  Company  will pay  royalties  not to exceed an
      additional $1 million.  Royalties due are first credited  against the $500
      payment.  In 1995, the Company applied  approximately $80 in royalty costs
      against the prepayment.

      Patent  Litigation:  The  Company is  currently  a  defendant  in a patent
      infringement lawsuit filed against it by PSC, Inc. (PSC) alleging that the
      Company is  infringing  a PSC patent  for an optical  scanning  device for
      detecting bar codes.  The Company  maintains that PSC's patent is invalid,
      that the Company has not infringed the patent,  or both. In addition,  the
      Company is currently  involved in other matters of litigation arising from
      the normal  course of  business.  Management  is of the opinion  that such
      litigation  will not  have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's
      combined financial position or results of operations.


12.   Benefit Plans:

      Savings  Plus Plan:  The Company  sponsors a Savings Plus Plan (the 401(k)
      plan) for all U.S.  employees  meeting certain service  requirements.  The
      Company may make  contributions to the 401(k) plan each year that match in
      whole or in part the  pre-tax  contributions  that  employees  make to the
      401(k) plan.  The  Company's  contributions  for 1993,  1994 and 1995 were
      $336, $300 and $328, respectively.

      Incentive  Compensation:  The Company has two incentive  plans.  The first
      plan  allows for payment of cash awards to  management  and key  employees
      based upon achievement of annual financial  performance  goals or other by
      the Company. The Company recognized expenses relating to this plan of $49,
      $112 and $611 in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The second plan allows
      for  payments of cash awards to  substantially  all  employees  based upon
      improvement  in the  Company's  earnings  over a  three-year  period.  The
      Company  recognized  expenses related to this plan of approximately  $-O-,
      $178 and $489 in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

14.   Financial Instruments:

      Forward Exchange Contracts:  The Company has only limited involvement with
      derivative  financial  instruments  and  does  not use  them  for  trading
      purposes.  Periodically,  the Company enters into foreign currency forward
      exchange contracts to hedge a portion of its anticipated  foreign currency
      sales transactions.  The effect of this practice is to minimize the impact
      of foreign exchange rate movements on the Company's operating results.

      As of December 31,  1995,  the Company had no forward  exchange  contracts
      outstanding. The forward exchange contracts generally have maturities that
      do not exceed 12 months  and  require  the  Company  to  exchange  foreign
      currencies for U.S.  dollars at maturity,  at rates agreed to at inception
      of the contracts.

      The Company  controls the credit risks  associated  with Foreign  currency
      transactions through approvals and centralized  monitoring  procedures but
      does not normally require collateral or other security from the parties to
      the financial instruments.

      Fair Value of  Financial  Instruments:  In December  1991,  the  Financial
      Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
      Standards No. 107 ("SFAS 107")  "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
      Instruments". SFAS 107 requires disclosures of the estimated fair value of
      all  financial  instruments  other  than  specified  items  such as  lease
      contracts, subsidiary and affiliate investments and employers' pension and
      benefit obligations.

      The following  methods and assumptions were used by management to estimate
      the fair  value of each  class of  financial  instrument  for  which it is
      practicable to estimate that value. The resulting  estimates of fair value
      require subjective judgments and are approximate. Changes in the following
      methodologies and assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

      o     Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts reflected in the 
            combined financial statements are reasonable estimates of fair value

      o     Note  Receivable:  The fair value of note receivable is estimated by
            discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which a
            similar  note  receivable  would be made to  borrowers  with similar
            credit ratings and for the same maturities.

      o     Long-term Debt and Current  Portion of Long-term Debt: The estimated
            fair  values of these  financial  instruments  set forth  below were
            determined    by    estimating    future    cash    flows    on    a
            borrowing-by-borrowing basis and discounting these future cash flows
            using the Company's incremental borrowing rates for similar types of
            borrowing arrangements.

                                                               1995

                      PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
                                   (UNAUDITED)

The following pro forma financial data of PSC Inc.(the  Company) consists of (i)
a pro forma  consolidated  balance  sheet as of June 30, 1996,  (ii) a pro forma
consolidated  statement of operations  for the year ended  December 31, 1995 and
(iii) a pro forma consolidated  statement of operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, collectively the pro forma statements.

The pro forma  balance  sheet as of June 30, 1996  combines the balance sheet of
the Company as of June 30, 1996 and the balance  sheet of the Data Capture Group
of  Spectra-Physics  AB  (Spectra)  as of  June  30,  1996 as  adjusted  for the
acquisition  on July 12,  1996 by the  Company  of  certain  of the  assets  and
liabilities  of Spectra.  The pro forma  balance  sheet is  presented  as if the
acquisition was consummated on June 30, 1996.

The  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  statement  of  operations  combines the
historical  consolidated  statement  of  operations  of the Company for the year
ended  December  31,  1995 and for the six months  ended  June 30,  1996 and the
consolidated  statement of operations of the Spectra for the year ended December
31,  1995 and for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996,  as  adjusted  for the
acquisition  on July 12,  1996 by the  Company  of  certain  of the  assets  and
liabilities of Spectra. The pro forma statement of operations is presented as if
the acquisition was consummated on January 1, 1995.

The pro forma  statement of operations  should be read in  conjunction  with the
separate historical financial statements of Spectra and related notes,  included
herein and the historical  consolidated financial statements of the Company, the
related notes and  Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition
and Results of Operations  for the year ended  December 31, 1995.  The pro forma
statements  are based upon  currently  available  information  and upon  certain
assumptions that the Company  believes are reasonable  under the  circumstances.
The pro  forma  statements  do not  purport  to  represent  what  the  Company's
financial  position or results of  operations  would  actually  have been if the
acquisition of Spectra had occurred at the beginning of the period  indicated or
project the Company's  financial position or results of operations at any future
date or for any future period.
